Nah, my time is either up or it will be up soon. Doesn't matter to me. There's no prize for not-first, after all. But if I'm going down, I might as well take everyone down with me. Especially if I'm getting betrayed again (and I have good reason to believe that I am!).

Ok, then if this is true, why wait until tribal to bring it up? Why not mention it via PM earlier?

This reads more like you're trying to find the cracks to make our vote right now falter, because if you can split our vote you can force rocks. I know that we haven't talked out of the thread, windy, but in your position, if I had people approach me and they indicated there was instability in the ruling majority? I'd be PMing the principal players like crazy, not sitting on it until no talk outside the thread can occur.

Mainly because I've been busy the past few days and my life has kinda hit a point where I'm losing out on time for this game due to other things going on. Also, I had some things revealed to me earlier today that really changed my perspective. Besides, this is more fun!

Tribal Council 10
Propaganda Machine, IcePhoenix, Winson_Paine: You guys were at the center of a big blow up after the last tribal council. Have things smoothed over since? What exactly brought around that heated discussion? What do you take from that, as this game edges closer and closer to the end?

I guess things have smoothed over a little. I think that Windshipper felt more betrayed when we thought he would after a last minute, and man do I literally mean last minute, decision to go with a different plan. I certainly didn't help the situation with a comment made to him in private that I had hoped would placate him about it that ended up having the opposite effect.

As far as what I take away from it, I'm not sure. I think the biggest part of this game is trust, and there are a lot of different factors that go into deciding if you want to trust someone. I think that the events during and after tribal did a lot in that regard.

I don't want to respond, but I guess I kind of have to.

I've had a day 1 alliance with Byers. He was the first person to contact me, and he did so substantively so I've persisted keeping him involved in any and everything I truly plan on doing. He was my closest ally in post-swap Durf by a long shot, and that bond got tighter when we were in serious danger against YPM and Disco. We've been together on literally every vote that's gone down, even/especially the first post-merge vote, in which we voted opposite each other. That's trust. That's loyalty. Like I said, that's hard to find.

Apparently, there's a perception that I'm on the outside of the Durf alliance, so I've been getting nailed by everybody (except Skinty) who's looking for a crack in Durf.

It sucks for them that they went for a crack that wasn't ever actually there.

Okay guys, it's now time to vote. Using the above template, fill out on the parchment who you wish to vote for. The person that receives the highest number of votes is the next person voted out of this game, losing their chance at the $75 grand prize. There is to be no out of thread communication while we are holding council. Majuju has Individual Immunity, I assume you're not gonna give it up?

And remember, you're sending in your votes to JOHN CENA, NOT ME!!!!!!

I feel I should probably confirm at this point that Prop hasn't contacted me in days.

Also as to not burn any potential bridges tonight, I am in fact not going to vote for either party who contacted me.

What can I say? I'm a bit of a comedian, but I've ceded that role to Majuju around these parts. I've been rewatching Chuck and I saw that scene a few days ago so it was the first funny mic-drop that came to mind (especially since Game of Thrones was already taken).
